Chili Cherry Hummus

I wish you could taste this. Blindfolded. I actually had the Husband taste my chili cherry hummus with his eyes closed. He isn’t a fan of this game that I frequently ask him to play, but I did try to ease the suspense by telling him that I was just going to place a rice cracker covered with hummus in his mouth. He had nothing to fear. After he tasted it and declared it to be good, I showed him this bowl.

Yes, it’s pinkish, purple. And for hummus, it looks very strange, but it is delightfully tasty.

It strikes my fancy, because it has one of my favorite flavor combinations, sweet and spicy.

And I really like the combination of these two beans.

Borlotti Beans and Navy Beans

But you could use the traditional garbanzo beans if you’d like.

The magic ingredients in this funky hummus are fresh cherries and chopped serrano chili pepper.

For a creamy, high-protein snack with just a hint of sweet and spicy sassiness, give this hummus a try!

I’m so, so glad that Kalinda included this recipe in her weekly roundup because I’m a huge, huge fan of sweet and spicy and I haven’t visited your blog lately. This looks amazing, Heather. Most hummus doesn’t have the appealing look that this recipe has. Oh, and I do that to my husband, too. And he’s not fond of it either. LOL

A Curious Girl in the Gluten-Free World

I'm a curious girl, wife, teacher, friend, fitness fanatic, foodie, high raw vegan, child of the King, and Mama Cat. I've made the transition from baking and cooking gluten-free to creating raw vegan recipes that are naturally gluten free. My gluten intolerance opened up my diet to a whole new world of nutritious plant-based foods. And now I have another challenge ahead...I'm moving to New York City! I look forward to Living Raw Vegan in the City and sharing my experience with you.
